Hollyland Lark M1 | iPhone 13 Pro Max and Sony testing | SMALL is an understatement
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 лип 2022
- The smallest and lightest mics I've used so far. These include an active noise cancelling mode, different levels and lots of flexibility. Be it that you need it for UA-cam, for a run and gun setup, for TikTok or any other scenario where you need a fast setup these will do.
I review and test in detail the different functions, how the mics sound on the streets, the pros and cons and everything there is to know about them.
I tested with the latest and greatest iPhone 13 Pro Max and on my Sony A7Siii to get a taste of both.

This is by far the best review I've seen on the Hollyland Lark M1 microphone! I just purchased this for two reasons; 1) it was on sale for only $109.00 and 2) it's size makes it easy for me to take with me when I travel. A third reason would be simplicity. It seems that it would be easy to set up and use. I'm sure professionals would want something more complex, higher end with more features that cost a lot more money. I'm just an average guy wanting something better than a built in microphone or shotgun microphone.
Thanks again for this great review!!! 😁
Awesome - those are 3 good reasons to get these mics! Take care
Your comment about the ability to add a lav Mac to this system is spot on. Also, I didn’t notice if it had charge through capability when attached to the phone. That would be great. But adding those tow features would prob push it out of their target price point, which I understand. This seems to be a great option for the minimalist creator and looks to be a good option. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Kevin. Yep this is very much a "run and gun" or even a "run FAST and gun" typa setup ;)
but it definitely does the trick for me and - while I never use the sound canceling feature - it really covers all bases. Would be great if it would charge with the phone but it's also true that the batteries last forever and once in the box - they get some juice. Take care!
The quality of your videos is great Chris! Really you deserve million of subs!!
Thanks Ale 😎😉
Very interesting. Could see quite some uses. I feel it's a very good "entry point" if you don't have a huge budget to invest in mics, and it doesn't appear cheap quality. I'd say good price/quality ratio!
Totally 💯
with the noise cancelling tech built into audio/video editing software getting SO GOOD (Davinci resolve voice isolation is stupid good for not being an extra paid-for feature) I would never use voice isolation on any mic. these budget mics coultn't possibly have the processing to do any good sound clean up
I very much after with you!
I really like this noise cancellation feature in this m1 I just wish they add a 3.5 mm jack to the reciever to monitor the Audio while recording
Totally - same here
@@cris_photography Hi Cris, I think you can use female trs to trs or female trs to trrs cable with a female jack for external headphones so you can monitor the audio live. It looks like an audio splitter cable but not sure what its called. But I do have one came with my Takstar SGC 600 mic and I have been monitoring the audio using that cable since the mic itself doesn't have extra jack for audio monitoring.

Awesome thanks Ryan. I now plug the headphones straight into my Sony camera and it works fine too 😊 cheers
The thing I noticed first is the blue light which indicates its on. It draws attention to you, and the light is not needed, or at least so bright. Your audience knows exactly when you are recording
Very true 👍🏼
This can easily be hidden inside the shirt
Usually 200m distance calculate in a way with no obstacle between.
If it work well up to 60m -70m with people keep passing by I would consider this is good
Exactly - happy with the distance so far never had a problem
What an epic review, thanks for helping me buy this tiny but mighty mic. Cheers!
Thanks a lot mate, glad it was helpful!
Excellent comparison Chris. I didn't like the sound of the Hollyland M1 recorded outdoors. I found him stuffy. Perhaps it would improve if you increased the pickup to -9 decibels. It would be interesting to make a comparison with the Rode Go II in an outdoor recording. Brazilian greetings.
Thanks for the feedback 😉 cheers from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Bro I bought it but when i using it with my iphone it is recording audio from the phone not the wireless mic. Please help me out
Sorry to hear that! I just plugged and play and it worked 😱 not sure how to help ya sorry mate
Very helpful, just what I was looking for as far as info about this mic.
Awesome - glad it was helpful!
Great review and very helpful!
You’re very welcome
Very helpful. Well done. I just got the 150.
Awesome! Glad I could help
Your review are very helpful…im gonna buy this!!!
Awesome! I am using today in fact 😅😉
This is the best review on this product...I like to get it for my Samsung Galaxy s23..
Thanks Jordan - much appreciated!
I used these just today on another review and they are excellent 😉 take care
Question: how do I properly connect it to my iPhone Pro 13? Is there a way to know if properly connected? I’ve tried but it seems like it doesn’t work with my iphone
Hey there, you’re not the first asking and not the last looks like. I will make a video about it in the coming days but basically all you have to do (I literally just tried here at the studio) is to plug a patch cable that goes from lighting to jack 3.5 and start recording. I tried on a 13 mini and last time on a 13 pro max so the pro should work without a problem. Lemme know if it still doesn’t work
@@cris_photographyI plugged mine in but I can’t seem to hear any audio coming from the video after reviewing it on my mobile device
How did you connect the microphone to your iPhone? I used a toggle since the iPhone doesn't take 3.5 mm cable but no audio is recorded.
I used the cable they provided me with (basically a dongle jack-lightning port). And then you just start recording. Try a different cable maybe?
As you said a downside is there is only one jack so you can't monitor audio live. But couldn't you use an adapter that splits the cable then plug headphones into the headphone jack and camera into the mic jack. Not sure if this would work just curious and I don't know where else to find this info.
You can use the jack of the camer (at least with my Sony A7siii) and monitor the audio 😀 been doing this ever since and it’s totally fine. So basically you can monitor the audio by plugging the jack into the mic port and use the headphones port to listen to the sound of the mics (but not from the received at this point of course). Hope that helps - cheers

Hey! Great video!
do you know if it's possible to connect to your iPhone just using the classic white aux to lightning adapter? instead of buying the cable
Thanks!!!!
Hello, thanks. Yes it should work in theory (I used the one that was provided when I received it but didn’t test other cables/adapters). Cheers
Does your iphone get super hot when you plug it in?? mine gets super hot and I am scared to record over a minute
It doesn’t! How strange!
My big problems with this is they dont have a mic jack for lav, if you get this wedding is so har to try to hide
Y’a it’s true - it’s a pitty! Lark 150 it is
Take care
Great video thankyou!
Thanks!
Buildings and other signals competing will cause the frequency to reduce as you move further. Maybe in a perfect environment it will reach as far as their claims.
Absolutely 👍🏼
Thank u for the very useful video,,am looking for micro to start with my new youtube channel,,currently am using Iphone xs is Lark M1 will be work with it,,🙏🙏
Hello there, thanks. Per what I know yes it should work BUT you’ll have to buy the lighting port cable separately from hollyland. Cheers
Hi how do i connect this mic on iphone 14 pro max...will normal default camera app support my audio recording from lark m1 duo thanks
Hello, yes it really is “plug and play” and it should natively support the audio. Take care
these work fine but they aren't producing enough VOLUME. Any ideas? thanks
Strange! There are 3 levels of audio you can set on these, maybe you’re set to low? Check the manual - maybe that’s it. Cheers
Great video! Where did you get that lightning to 3.5mm?
Thanks Kobric. I got it along with the M1 mics set (it it sold separately by hollyland). Cheers
Great vid man, your sound test sounds great. I recently got same one and when i test with my android phone, i get the sound mixed wit. buzzing sound in small amount. I think its coming from transmitter. Checked with both the transmitter with and w/out the noise cancellation but it still gives me the buzzing sound. y'all think it faulty ? or is there any tricks/setting on it. Thanks.
Thank man. Yes prolly a faulty one, never had this sort of problem with mine 🤷🏻
I purchased this product after watching this video a couple of times, as I was quite happy with what I saw here. However, my "cam" is simply an iPhone and I absolutely need it to work with it. The seller makes it clear that I need an MFI certified 3.5mm to lightning cable to connect the RX piece to the iPhone. Hence I made sure to purchase one of such cable as well. However, even so, I simply can't get it to work. When I connect the RX to the iPhone, there's no sound capture at all... did anyone go through this? Is there an additional step other than simply connecting stuff? I thought this was supposed to be a plug&play kind of thing, but maybe I'm missing some config. PS: i'm using an iPhone 14 Pro.
Hello there, that’s VERY strange - I only had to plug and play. I am going to look again and I get back to you (see if there is anything special)
I've also got same issue, seems to be recording through the phone still, not the mic (as have tapped mic to check back on audio recording, and it hasn't picked it up).
So if I just have a short little wire how do I connect this to my camera when my camera is on my helmet?
3m tape with a coldshoe mount so you can put the receiver on it. I’d do that personally. Cheers!
I have a question regarding receiver connectivity via trs (with a jack 3.5 mm adapter) with an external audio recorder. Does it work as a combo? I prefer to connect the receiver to my Zoom H6 to gain additional control in terms of… gain. I shoot mostly talking heads-style videos, but I like to have space to express myself with my hands, and that cableless lav mic is perfect for me. Still, I'm in small proximity to my desk, so I can access a recorder/interface with no problem at all.
Hello, honestly I havent tried as this really is a "run and gun" type of setup. Am sure you could find ways to do that but honestly I'd spend a tad more and get the lark 150 (I made a separate video on this channel on that one). What I do to at least monitor my audio is to use the camera jack. In terms of lav, again, the 150 is better and more appropriate, but the small transmitters are ok too (you will see them tho - for the most part - especially with the blue/green light on them). Cheers
happens to you if you put the receiver in stereo mode (blue lights) once turned on the Sony camera switches itself to mono by turning on the green lights?
Hello Carmelo, i do not have that issue in my Sony camera no. Did you have that issue?
@@cris_photography yes. The receiver set in stereo, when I turn on the sony a73 it goes to mono and if I manually switch it to stereo after a while it returns to mono. At this point I really think about making the return. Too bad because these mics are great
In lark m1 will Speaker Play with RX plugged
Excellent question! I’d have to try - not sure
Do we have to keep charger box open to charge the microphone?
Hello, no you don’t. You can (should) close and it charges on the go 😉
does the dead cat stay on the mic well? Like lets say if the dead cat rubs against something else like a back pack strap or jacket, will it fall off the mic easily or will it stay securely?
It was fine so far - didn’t have a problem with it falling or moving even when rubbing a bit on a jacket or clothes
M1 has ''High, Medium, Low'' settings.
Use Low setting is the safest ??
I’d go with medium for all normal situations and change if needed
can the receiver be connected to a PA system ? I’d like to use it for live events
Hello Ricardo, never tried it but if it’s working with a jack 3.5 should work in theory. Cheers
La réduction de bruit atténue un peu les aigues mais c'est vraiment un super produit!
Oui en effet! J’ai bien apprécié la simplicité des micros 😉
@@cris_photography le son n'est pas mauvais. J'allais m'acheter les Rode en me disant que le prix piquait un peu. Là, je vais pouvoir enregistrer du son ET aller manger des kebabs pendant des semaines en plus!
😁
J’en profite pour te demander si tu sais que j’ai aussi une chaîne française ou je produit les mêmes contenus mais entièrement en français (@Cris Photographie) vu que tu m’écris en français - je me suis dis que ça pourrait t’intéresser. Bonne soirée
@@cris_photography mais carrément. Je suis bilingue mais il faut soutenir la francophonie!!! Du coup ça m'intéresserait bien de savoir quel est ton workflow pour tout ça. Tu fais tout en double lors des prises vidéo?
Ah cool!
Yes, je shoot tout en deux langues à chaque fois, 2 fois la même chose en gros.
J’ai aussi commencé le contenu en italien (tu peux checker @cris fotografia) pour le LEICA m11 par example mais j’arrivais plus à suivre (et je suis espagnol à la base… mais 4 langues c’est trop 😂)
Voilà voilà! C’est beaucoup de job mais j’aime pouvoir transmettre les infos au gens de langue française également
Is the audio recording left and right stereo? Can it be adjust individually after recording?
I don’t think you can change in post - pretty sure it is backed in
Can it be used in DJI osmo action 3?
If it has a jack 3.5 you can 👍🏼
brother to use it with iphone I must have the cable that the brand sells or I can connect the 3.5 cable to the lightning adapter that comes in the box with some iphone?
Hey there, great question! I have no idea honestly, I don’t have such a cable anymore. I have used the company cable they provide separately. Cheers
@@cris_photography Thanks bro, they will arrive in a few days and I will try it with that cable, I will tell you here, if the information is useful to you
Hello! I have the same question, how did it go@@carlosmazariegos1644 with the iphone adapter?
Can i use this on my samsung phone?
I don’t have a Samsung so didn’t try unfortunately - sorry mate
Can I adjust volume level for each transmitter individually?
You can set it to hi, medium and low yes
How to set medium volume level?
I’d have to check the manual, it’s all there (I don’t remember exactly how to do that) cheers
Nice review
Thanks 🙏
Can a lav mic be attached to the mic units?
Unfortunately you cannot
It does not work for Samsung :(
That’s not good 🤦🏻😣
Can you tell me how to tern on and use it 🥺🥺
You open the box, pull them out and that’s it. The received gets connected to your camera (or phone) and you can start recording. Cheers
Now I can use it thanks you so much 🙏🙏🙏
Can I use it on iphone 13 pro not max?
Absolutely
This microphone will beat the road microphone.
Very comparable indeed 😌
How did you attach the receiver to the iPhone?
They sent me a cable for it that converts to lightning port
@@cris_photography you were lucky, it seems they do not produce them anymore. How do you attach the receiver to the phone so that it doesn't dangle around by the cable only?
The review ever about this product…
Best or worse? 😁
Is this mic can use with Osmo 6
If it has a jack 3.5 it should work yes 👍🏼
@@cris_photographyStill i want to see how you can use this wireless mic with DJI Osmo 6 Mobile Gimbal 🙂
please share setup also on iphone
I have a video planned about that 👍🏼
wheres the video 🥹
@@cris_photography
how do i sound, iphone 13 pro max is the winner
That’s what am taking about 😎
do you live in london?
Hello, i do not - I live in Switzerland 🇨🇭 cheers
Price In Bangladesh
Not sure sorry 🤷🏻
리뷰 좋네요~~
감사합니다
Bought this and it was absolutely horrible. Volume is super low on the highest setting. I ended up returning it
Really hum? Strange!
great,but how you actually use it and transfer the files?
Thanks. It’s just a microphone - there is no internal memory. You plug it to your camera and when you record it takes the audio from the mic instead of the camera mic. Cheers
@@cris_photography One quick question u might know
it didnt come with iphone adopter to connect transmiter -can i just use my iphone lighting jack ?
